Rated 5 out of 5 by sonomajer Best Bet in Petaluma
We stay here frequently. There is nothing else in Petaluma that even comes close. The adjacent wetlands trails are wonderful for a brisk walk, the Happy Hour is very good for a quick bite and you are just minutes from downtown with all the great shopping and eating. You can also get to the town of Sonoma or the seashore easily by scenic back-roads or to Marin and San Francisco by 101.

The lobby was not as luxurious.
Not match attention to detail in terms of amenities - I did not have shampoo

Rated 4 out of 5 by stickershocked Your rates have doubled !
We have always stayed here when visiting family in the Bay Area. Unfortunately you have priced us out with your room fees. $267.78 for one nights stay. We can afford it, but choose not to. Maybe the new Casino is both a curse and a blessing depending on perspectives. We hosted a party of 12 at the Tolay. At least the restaurant prices were still reasonable - for now anyway!

Rated 4 out of 5 by mrLucky1 Relaxing weekend
Overall the room and the hotel met my needs. The staff were very friendly. I would stay there again.
It did seem odd that many or all of the staff that I spoke with or asked questions of seemed to be so new on the job that they could not answer some questions or be of help. They were still great though.
I was not impressed with the restaurant Tolay's food, prices or overall service. Not horrible, but not great either. Sorry.
The clock on the computer was 6 hours off. The clock in the workout room was an hour and a half off and the clock in my room was 1 hour off. There was a lightbulb out in a lamp in the room. When I parked my car in the parking lot it was hard to get out of the door because the bush was so overgrown. There were other smaller things like that I noticed.
I don't point out the small details to complain, but more of what I noticed that could be improved upon.
Again, the staff was very friendly. The bed was comfortable and the pillows were awesome. I loved having the newspapers available to read in the morning and the coffee in the room.
The room was perfect for what I needed though and would stay there again.
Thank you for allowing pets !

Rated 4 out of 5 by Pigeonlarry Restaurant was bad
The restaurant was under staffed, only one server for our large group. We were setted at 8:00 and never got our breakfast until 9:10. The tour bus arrived at 9:15 so we could only
eat part of our breakfast. The employes tried calling the manager about the problem but he was always unavalable. You need a new restaurant manager.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Rickmon Disappointing
We were looking forward to a fun weekend in the wine country and did manage to have a good time in spite of the disappointing experience at this hotel. A specific example was the very meager fare in the Club Lounge. I have had much better free breakfasts at very inexpensive express hotels. The coffee machine in the Club Lounge was broken most of the time and I am not happy until I get my morning coffee. Another example of a small but unnecessary annoyance was the lack of an available luggage cart to move our things to the car upon checkout. They were all in use by supply delivery guys who should bring their own hand trucks instead of monopolizing those intended for guests. Our room keys only worked sometimes so we had to keep going to the front desk - major hassle.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Champ14 Terrible Restaurant and Catering Service
The service at the hotel restaurant was very slow and unresponsive. It took over 2.5 hours to have a 3 course meal. It would have been longer if we hadn't said anything. The food was good but not good enough to wait over an hour for our food.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Lodo007 Needs work
While in a great location I would not recommend staying at this hotel. 5 quick reasons:
1. No luggage assistance upon check-in.
2. No recognition as Platinum member upon checking-in.
3. The host in the club lounge on Friday, October 4 never said a word to any of the guests arriving into the lounge. When asked a question about how the coffee machine worked he seemed irritated with having to make an effort.
4. One server for breakfast. The hotel seemed understaffed and of those there several lacked proper training. 20 minutes for oatmeal that was luke-warm and cement like upon arrival.
5. Woken up on Sat, Oct 5 by the fire alarm.
One positive, the employee in the coffee lounge in the morning of Oct 6th was awesome. Great cappuccino and very friendly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Maxima Nice but not perfect
The staffs were polite and friendly, including technical staff we met in elevator and pool. Pool was well maintained and our kid liked it. Food in the lounge was nice. Guest service was responsive. The bed was comfortable and the bed sheet was clean. The internet was free and worked well. The room was quiet except air conditioner. The decor was contemporary.
However, there were a few imperfections. (1) There were a bunch of hair on the wall above bath tub when we checked in. (2) When I pulled out the retractable clothesline above the tub, I saw a few colors. (3) The in-room air conditioner unit was noisy and unable to adjust the fan speed. (4) My room was small even though we were on the club floor.
Overall, we enjoyed the environment and would recommend to others.

Rated 2 out of 5 by FDR38 Its the little things
Called two weeks ahead to advise hotel that my dog would be traveling with me. When checking in Brian the clerk told me the first floor pet friendly rooms were sold out. To his credit he put us in a room on the 2nd floor, gave us club room access and made sure to offer the extra benefits for SPG Gold members. It worked out fine, but since the hotel had been notified two weeks prior to check-in that I would have my dog with me, a room on the first floor should have been blocked for me.
Went for a morning swim at 9;00 AM. Pool was locked up tight even though opening time is 7:00 AM. Front desk offered to have the pool opened in 10 to 15 min. Didn't want to wait around the lobby in my swimsuit so I told them not to bother for me.
Club lounge is really an afterthought at this location. Terrible stale pastries and soggy oatmeal at breakfast and no drinks in fridge in the afternoon.. Also, it should be have been cleaner.
All in all, i would return if I needed a place to stay, but my expectations would be much lower.

The shower head is not usable if you are under 6 feet tall.
My Wife is 5' 2" and would get drowned if she was to use the shower head. Some women do not wash their hair every night.

The facility was great, staff were excellent. The service award goes to Wendy, what a great personality and provided great service for our breakfast and drinks at the pool. Excellent location.
I do think the beds need to be replaced, we had better beds while we were on the road.

Rated 2 out of 5 by HBCIV Would Not Patronize Again
I made this reservation because we became aware of the need to travel to the area at the last minute, and it came up as one of the few places available. The price for a very ordinary room was around $350 for one night, and this was to include a $25 prepaid debit master card, and some sort of coca cola cooler deal. The master card was in the room when we returned that night in an envelope shoved under our door. The soda deal never materialized. We got very little for a lot of money, including a hotel that looks like it's overdue for some renovation and sprucing up. The internet connection in the room was very iffy, and kept working or needing re-setting. The places we customarily patronize in the Marin/Sonoma Counties area offer much more for half the price. We won't be coming back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Marilyn24 Great experience in Petaluma
Traveling frequently for work, hotels have become my home away from home and this Sheraton in Petaluma was a very pleasant experience. The room was spacious and comfortable and everything worked as it should. I didn't take advantage of the free wi fi since I have my own hot spot but I appreciated their offer. The view overlooking the small harbor and wetland was restful. I had access to a balcony (some rooms have their own) overlooking the harbor where I could sit and enjoy a glass of wine from the bar downstairs. The food at the Tolay restaurant was very good, the bar fully stocked and the servers were friendly. The Starbucks - although it opens late for an early riser - has a little store in addition to the coffee served each morning.
The hotel is just outside of town, only a 5 minute drive, and at the edge of the Schollenburger Park, a wetland preserve with a great walking/running trail that goes for miles.
All in all it's a well run establishment and I would easily recommend it to others.

Rated 3 out of 5 by yogadame hotel was adequate
I think this hotel is overpriced. The rooms were fine but not for the price. The lounge was not worth the extra $30 if you are thinking of have a bite before dinner (poor quality and food sitting around for a long time)
Breakfast was better although barely. The breakfast staff in the lounge however were first class and made us very comfortable.
